Frost Expected in Eastern Latvia — Traditionally Normal in Liepāja
While eastern Latvians prepare winter jackets in March, the temperature in Liepāja will be as predictable as a bus delay at Tošele stop.
The Latvian Meteorological Service has announced with its usual drama that there might be light frost in the east during the night, which is about as surprising as news that it's windy in Liepāja. While Rigans nervously check thermometers and think about retrieving autumn clothes from basements, Liepāja residents calmly continue living.
In Riga, nighttime temperatures will be +3 to +5 degrees, which will seem like tropical climate to the capital's residents after winter. Meanwhile, here where sea wind is daily reality, such temperature fluctuations are as predictable as the bus to Tošele stop being five minutes late again.
'Eastern Latvia at -1 degree? So what? We already had +5 here in January,' comments local gardener Vilnis, who has been waiting for the third week to start planting potatoes. He adds that flowers in Liepāja gardens have been blooming since February, because the wind brings not only salt, but also warmth from the Atlantic Ocean.
Rain is expected in Kurzeme on Sunday, which is as predictable as someone complaining about Liepāja's road quality again. But we're used to it here — if it's not raining, then it's windy, if it's not windy, then it's raining. And if neither, then it means something's wrong with the weather forecast.
